WESTERN KANSAS.

Last evening an EAGLE representative met
Mr.. Harry L. Bennett. a well known COM
mercial traveller from st. Louis who has
just arrived in the city from trip through
western Kansas. Mr.. Bennett reports
splendid outlook for the future of the farmers
in that section and says he never saw corn
looking so we'll He also remarked that the
two leading topics of conversation there was
the building of the two great lines of rail
road, the A., T. & s. F. and the D., NJ. & A.
across the western portion Of the state, both
making Decline for Denver, Colorado.
That with their many construction camps
along the line dotting the prairie as far as
the eye could reach, the two steel highways
often less than half mile apart, with their
thousands of workmen, teams and wagons,
this race for the state line was a scene not
soon to be forgotten by the tender-foot
The other leading subject beir the reloca-
tion of the United States land office, which
is now at WaKeeny, on the Union Pacific
railroad. 'Since the organization and devel-
oping of the numerous counties in the dis
trict,n remarked Mr.. Bennett, 'the land Office
is located at the extreme northeast corner,
and the thousands of settlers now residing in
Rush, Ness, Lane, Scott. Wichita and
Greeley counties are now greatly interested
as well as excited over its proposed removal
to a more central location
"W here do they wish it = remarked the
EAGLE man.
"Oh any where, 50 it will be nearer the
center of the district, and so that settlers
will not have to travel six times farther than
necessary, some having to go clear across
the entire district. During my trip across
some of these counties l found petitions
everywhere, and signed by everyone, for its
removal. The settlers all speak in the warm
est tones of Commissioner Sparks,
whom they call the settlers
friend and feel sure he will
order the land office removed to a central
location, as this is all the settlers ask.
Indeed l consider it public necessity my
self, and have no doubt but what the gov
eminent will order its removal as soon as the
situation is properly presented at Washing
ton. Well must take a look over this
toWa. BY Joe, L DeNer sd" CIT! SIo" -
Since my last visit. about six months ago, so
many big brick blocks are going up that
hardly know the place. OF course | see the

where, not only in the west, but east, yet 1t
is hard to realize the vast Improvements
made daily here. Well, Wichita has her ed

TO win every time.

UNKNowN DEAD.


Coroner Vineyard was out to Mt Hope
yesterday to hold an inquest over the body
of man found in the Arkansas river about
mile and half north of Mount Hope
The body was first seen by Harvey Robert,
school teacher living west Of the village.
He and his son were crossing the bridge near
his place yesterday morning about O'Clock
and when they had reached first ice break saw
an.:objectswhich they at first thought was the
refuse of beef His son after going few
feet said it was human being. He then made
closer examination and by the action of
| the water he discovered the lower part of the
limbs and the feet of human being. After
calling at the Carlisle ranch for assis-
| lance, he with Perry Cox, John Newbaker
and another man went directly to the place
| and all recognized in the object human being
Squire Phillips was notified, a jury impan-
| nelled and about II O'Clock the body was
brought into the town. The body was that
of a man unknown to all the gentlemen. The
body was entirely nude; around the neck
| was tied red handkerchief, also leather
strap four feet long, one and aquarter inches
| wide and a bucket on one end Through the
| bucket the strap was passed and Topped thus
around the neck To the other end of the
strap was tied a rope about six
| feet long and one half an inch
in diameter. Besides these articles nothing
| was found upon the body. The back, half
| of the side, and the thigh which were buried
| in the sand, were not much decomposed. The
head had lost all of the flesh, and the greater
part of the lower jaw was gone. The flesh
on the lower limbs had decayed and left the
body was somewhat decomposed and
the breast bone bare.
DR.. Potter the physician who made the ex-
animation of the body said II found a
| fracture of the left temporal bone and sub
maxillary bone nearly all of which was gone
bones caused the death of the person. Judg-
| ing from slightly ossifed condition of the
ostnt cartilaginous calculations that the
man was about 81 years of age. He was
| a we'll developed man probably
feet aud 9 or 10 inches high, and weighed
crooked to the right, low brow, narrow front
head and rather small head for the size of
the man; think probably was Of low Irish
birth" found no gun shot wounds My
professional opinion is that the blow he re-
ceived on the left side of the head was the
cause of death.
The verdict of the jury was that ''the de-
ceased came to his death from stroke on
the left side of the head by some unknown
person.
